By January 2017 the BSF is planning to install the tallest national flag at the Attari-Wagah joint check post as part of their efforts to expand the visitors gallery at the landmark site.

The record for tallest national flag currently is held by Jharkhand which stands 293 feet high.

The BSF is also trying to streamline the huge flow of tourist for the Retreat ceremony by making seats available online. The seating capacity is also going to be raised from 7,000 to 20,000.
